"The room we had was a two bedroom “honeymoon suite” , the view from the 4th floor was beautiful, the windows are sliding doors so you feel like you are on an outside patio when windows are open. The kitchen is well appointed, but bring your own coffee-none supplied. Bring own toiletries as well. The building has paper thin walls so you hear everything! The space was clean-modern style that has seen some wear. Staff helpful"

Which area of San Carlos is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers heading to San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, the best area for cheap hotels is generally found a little further inland from the main marina, often along the primary access roads into town. This offers a good balance of affordability and access to local amenities.
